Appalachian African American Female Artist

When we exhibited at Bluefield State College we were told they did not know of any Appalachian African American Female Artist.

My paternal grandmother Louise Jefferson Wilson, graduated from Bluefield State College in Bluefield WV with a degree in Art & home Economics. I have 3 of her oil painting and she also made two of the frames. They are signed and dated.
